What Is The Treatment For Pain In My Left Shoulder Blade?

Hi, I am a female, 65 years old, generally good health. I started with a bit of pain in my left shoulder yesterday. During the night I was uncomfortable in that area either lying on the shoulder or when i was lying on my right side, my left shoulder still hurt. The pain is also in my left shoulder blade and just below my shoulder into my chest. When I press anywhere in the area it hurts a bit more. It is uncomfortable to be up and about. I have a little bit of a cough, not too bad. It feels like heavy pressure on it.

These are symptoms of upper limb nerve stenosis. First, axillary nerve conduction test and cervical spine x ray and MRI should be done. Now, start with vitamin B12 injection once every 3 days.
